Great coffee and food . Freshly baked tastes amazing .

I love Cook Street Coffee. The baristas are always so friendly and personable. The atmosphere is always upbeat and fun. They are always busy, but there are plenty of tables to sit down at inside and out and they are great at giving you your drinks quickly. Their variety is really good from decaf, to normal black coffee to lattes. This will always be my go to place.

I want to like it more, but the poor quality of their espresso drinks is hard to ignore. Grinds in the drink are a usual thing - hot or cold. They get points for having oat milk and housemate syrups, but it’s not worth the hype or prices.

Cook Street Coffee was a home away from home while my friend and I were living in IL to support our guys during baseball season!! Not going to lie, it was hard to spend $7 on a coffee (this includes tip, I always tip), so we went about once a week for the last month we lived there. Once you took that first sip of coffee the money as worth it! Definitely recommend the sweet honey bee and the seven heaven. I do wish the vanilla ella was a bit sweeter but I LOVE how they make their own vanilla bean syrup! I also loved how their cups (etc) were environmentally friendly. I did not try their food as I cannot eat gluten so I always pack my own food, but they did have a few GF pastry options if you are in the same boat as I am!

By far, my ALL-TIME favorite coffee shop! Since my husband & I travel / are on-the-move with our jobs often, we've made a fun tradition of going to different little local coffee shops together! Honestly, we found Cook Street Coffee by happenchance. But hey! I was so impressed that I actually started working here 3-5 times a week these past few weeks (perks of working remotely). I drive about 30 minutes, but it's totally worth it!

My favorite drink is the honey latte (made with local honey) and oat milk! I enjoy bringing in my own personal cup & sipping local. I am also a HUGE customer service person! It is soooo important to me, as it is one of the most important aspects of my own / any business. I know that just ONE experience alone can keep a customer coming back or not at all.

I have witnessed the manager, Tim, interact with so many customers and even his employees. His leadership & kindness & intentionality has been really impressive to see! I give my FIVE STARS for the quality of their coffee + effectiveness of their management + sweet employees + all-around amazing customer service / full experience.

I like that the shop has many different types of coffee.

At Cook Street consistency is only second to customer service.
Of course their coffee drinks are excellent. Pastries are either procured from well known did or baked in house. And they have a unique and tasty selection of breakfast and lunch sandwiches.

But the things that keep me coming back to this independent gem are the consistency of the drinks and food and the customer service.

The team seems to really care about their products and the customer experience.

It's that commitment that keeps me coming back.

Came across this place by accident. Thought I try a local coffee vendor, instead of Starbucks.

The coffee here is genuine and the barista, Stefanie (Stephanie?), left a lasting impression. Will definitely be back the next time I’m in the area!
